Chapter 327: Get Him Down
After the goal, Villa celebrated the goal with emotion and unbridled despite the fact that he was at Old Trafford, and he was greeted by the shrill boos of the United fans.
However, for the Notts County players who have been holding back their energy, this little boo is just a little tickle in the ears.
Notts County are ahead!
It took only 20 minutes for Notts County to take the lead, and it was a dominant lead that no one could have imagined.
The Notts County players celebrated their goals, while the United players looked dejected, and even though they had put all their experience on the defensive, there was still no way to stop the Notts County goal, and the frustration was not to mention how bad.
Ferguson also had a gloomy expression on the sidelines, falling behind in the game was a situation that could not be grown, but on Manchester United, there was no lack of resistance to the behind, which was not so calm.
Involuntarily gave birth to a sense of powerlessness, and Ferguson felt that his heart was not beating so strongly.
Manchester United has a mature tactical system, but when there is a problem in one part of the tactical system, then the whole system will work in a problem, and Ferguson has no good cards to make up for it, who will save Manchester United.
Of course, it would be far from that to say that Manchester United have fallen into the abyss, but when it comes to the competitiveness of the Premier League title, Manchester United are already behind several rivals, and even from the current situation, Manchester United can only compete with Chelsea.
When Notts County finished their celebrations and the game resumed, Manchester United were ******** desperate to equalise, but due to the lack of dominance in midfield, they were impatient and were on the verge of becoming a club with a pure English style of play.
That's right, Manchester United can only return to the roots of English football if there is not much they can do, at least it can create some chances, which is better than being beaten passively and not fighting back.
In other words, this is also a temporary response for Manchester United, at least Ferguson has no good way to resist the Notts County attack at the moment, maybe he can make appropriate adjustments at half-time!
But in any case, the decline of Manchester United in this game can be seen by even the most ordinary fans.
After taking the lead, Notts County did not attack aggressively, but slowed down the tempo and tried to defend with control of the ball and also to demolish United's fighting spirit, which was more of a mature club than Manchester United at this time.
In the end, Notts County were unable to score again in the first half, and although there were a couple of good chances, they were a little less lucky, and with a 1-0 scoreline, the two sides returned to the dressing room.
United's dressing room was dreary, with the players keeping their heads down and not talking, and even the spiritual leader Keane was a little unsure of how to speak, after all, he was among the poor performers in the first half.
Ferguson wanted to turn on his high-power hair dryer to sober up the players, but in the end he also gave up this plan, because there is no good way to deal with it, at least now, Manchester United's player configuration seems to be unable to catch up with the opponent, and the players in Notts County have a high tactical literacy, as well as a complete tactical system, Manchester United has no advantage in any aspect.
And in the away dressing room, the Notts County players are much more relaxed, the overall dominance and the leading scoreline have soothed their tense nerves a lot, and the sequelae of the penalty shoot-out have subsided, if this game can really take away the three points from the away, then Notts County will really make a name for themselves.
"Maybe we can make a fuss about Keane in the second half, his yellow card in the first half was a little too unwise, if there is another yellow card, he will be off, less trouble, Manchester United's midfield is not up to us?" Deco whispered in Alonso's ear.
Alonso's eyes lit up, although Notts County has an absolute advantage, but no one can grasp the rapid changes on the pitch, God knows if Manchester United will be like a different team in the second half, if they can really get Keane down, Manchester United even if they want to turn the tables is beyond their power.
With Kean's temper, I'm afraid that I can set him on fire by playing a little trick in front of him, if it is Keane's peak moment, he will naturally be able to deter the opponent with his domineering, but now, Keane is probably like a toothless tiger, and only a dry roar remains.
The rest of the team-mates didn't know that Alonso and Deco were braving bad water here.
Sneijder's performance in the first half was a bit of a succession, with the need to drop back frequently to fight for control of the midfield at the beginning, and then there was no space due to United's tight defence, so his performance was not eye-catching, at least compared to his team-mates.
Cazorla was his substitute before, and he didn't have a sense of crisis at all, after all, Cazorla's strength could not threaten his main position at all, and he could only play when he was roller skating.
But the arrival of Kaka gave him a serious sense of crisis, if according to the fame, Kaka, who won the World Cup with the Brazilian team, is far more famous than him.
If he hasn't performed well, maybe he may have to give up his main position and play as a substitute for Kaka.
This is something that he can't accept because of his arrogance.
In the second half, you must play well and become the most dazzling presence on the field!
Snead encouraged himself inwardly.
Soon, the second half of the game began, and it was naturally Manchester United who made the first adjustment.
Keane's partner was replaced by Phil Neville and Bart, which is Ferguson's reinforcement in midfield, and Scholes's position has also dropped significantly, and it is clear that the old man is determined to have a battle with Notts County in midfield.
Perhaps in the old manager's mind, such a change will not give United the upper hand in the battle with Notts County, but at least it will take enough resistance to form an unbreakable barrier for United to come back one after another.
Of course, even if Keane's form has declined significantly, he is still the mainstay that the old lord must rely on, on the one hand, there is really no existence in the team that can replace his position, and secondly, he also hopes that Keane can play a leading role in the critical moment and lead the team to complete the Jedi counterattack.
However, not long after the start of the second half, Ferguson was eager to slap himself in the face.
Keane is sent off with a red card!
Deco's cunning feints made Keane think he was going to pass the ball, but who would have thought that Deco had an illusory shot, broke through from the side with the ball, and Keane, who felt humiliated, put Deco down directly in the back. (To be continued.) )
